Potential Consequences:
Brand new vehicle with 14 miles on it. Drove an hour home from the dealership. There's an issue with the transmission. Transmission will slip / skip gears while both accelerating and braking. Verified in all drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Auto). Burning smell coming from vehicle. Buzzing noise coming from engine bay. Our safety was put at risk because when it shifts gears suddenly the car leaps forward, can even happen during turns. Vehicle has not been inspected by dealership yet as it's about an hour away and we do not feel safe driving the vehicle. No warning lights have appeared. Read others with similar transmission issues needing to be resolved.

Potential Consequences:
We had a rock hit our windshield and a crack happened. I know this is possible, but of all the cars I’ve driven in my 25 years of driving this has never happened with a simple rock hit. I am in a group for Telluride owners on Facebook. This is a fairly common complaint that is made by owners. I was in a Tiguan group prior to trading that in and never once saw a post for rocks causing cracks. Kia is clearly not using the best glass. This can be very dangerous.

SEATS
Potential Consequences:
After parking, I tryed to retrieve an item that fell between the console and the right side of the Driver's seat . To my horror my arm got stuck. There was nothing I could do and since I am a nurse realized that time was of the essence so I would not lose circulation to my dominant hand. I was able to retrieve my cell phone with my left hand and call 911. It took 3 EMTs to extricate my arm from this terrible design. I currently sustain a bad contussion. During the emergency, my husband also confessed to have gotten his arm stuck with resulting scrapes, bruising and bleeding and our daughter who is a Medical Doctor who borrowed this car also got her arm stuck. This console is too big and too dangerous.

We drove approximately 10 miles to a KIA dealership who placed “crash film” over the gaping hole. The sunroof had been closed before this incident. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the sunroof exploding.

Potential Consequences:
My new AWD 2022 Kia Telluride vibration/ humming at 65 mph and above from day 1. It’s been in service 5 times and they are not able to fix the problem. The dealership we bought it from didn’t even admit there is a problem so we had to take it to another dealership which actually admitted there is a problem. They just changed the drive shaft and rear differential and the problem is still there . It’s been in service longer than it’s been with me. Very frustrating.

My new AWD 2022 Kia Telluride vibration/ humming at 65 mph and above from day 1. It’s been in service 5 times and they are not able to fix the problem. The dealership we bought it from didn’t even admit there is a problem so we had to take it to another dealership which actually admitted there is a problem. They just changed the drive shaft and rear differential and the problem is still there . It’s been in service longer than it’s been with me. Very frustrating.
